Colts coach Chuck Pagano said tight end Dwayne Allen missed practice Wednesday and remains day to day leading up to Week 13 vs. Washington. Allen sat out Week 12 due to an ankle injury.

The Eagles announced Wednesday quarterback Nick Foles will miss a fourth straight game Thursday the Cowboys due to a collarbone injury. He headlines the team's Week 13 injury report.

Linebacker Emmanuel Acho is listed as questionable due to a groin injury, while safety Nate Allen (ankle), defensive end Brandon Bair (elbow), tight end Zach Ertz (oblique), wide receiver Jordan Matthews (knee), kicker Cody Parkey (right groin) and tackle Jason Peters (quadricep) are all listed as probable.

Seahawks tight end Cooper Helfet, who caught a 20-yard touchdown pass Sunday, did not practice Tuesday due to an ankle injury. His status is uncertain for Thursday's game at the 49ers.

Two of Helfet's 10 grabs this year have gone for touchdowns.

The Rams waived wideout Damian Williams and elevated tight end Justice Cunningham from the practice squad, according to NFL reporter Howard Balzer.

Jets coach Rex Ryan told reporters rookie tight end Jace Amaro is going through the league-mandated concussion protocol, reports the New York Post.

Amaro left Monday night's contest against Buffalo in the second half with a concussion. He has
34 catches for 291 yards and two touchdowns this season. He will need to be medically cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Week 13 against Miami.

Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has six touchdown catches over his past five games after hauling in two Monday night against the Ravens. Graham caught a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a 2-yard score in the fourth as Drew Brees repeatedly looked his way in the red zone.

Graham drew a game-high 10 targets and finished with six catches for 47 yards. He's up to nine touchdowns after recording 16 last season.

Graham visits the Steelers in Week 13.

Jets rookie tight end Jace Amaro left the game against the Bills in the second half with a head injury, and he did not return. Amaro was targeted twice without a catch before the injury.

The Bills declared fullback Frank Summers (neck), tight end MarQueis Gray, linebacker Randell Johnson, offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, wideout Marquise Goodwin (ankle) and defensive ends Jarius Wynn (knee) and Bryan Johnson inactive for Monday's game against the Jets.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano told reporters he isn't sure if tight end Dwayne Allen will practice this week, but indicated that he's making progress from a sprained ankle which he suffered in Week 11, per the team's official website.

"He's trending in the right direction but he’s going to be day to day," Pagano said.

The Colts will face Washington in Week 13.

Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in his team's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys in Week 12.

Eli Manning was locked in on rookie Odell Beckham (10 catches, 146 yards, two TDs) and running back Rashad Jennings (eight catches, 68 yards), and Randle was one of the quarterback's six other targeted receivers to split 11 catches. Tight end Daniel Fells also secured three receptions for 35 yards, while tight end Larry Donnell managed just two receptions for 24 yards. Wide receiver Preston Parker caught one of his three targets for 16 yards, while tight end Adrien Robinson caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown.

Randle, Parker and the team's TE corps should continue to play a complementary role behind Beckham moving forward. The Giants will take on the Jaguars in Week 13.
